Irish, Phil. Niche Species, Lonsdale Gallery, Toronto, October 26-December 7, 2024.
Abstract
Niche Species, a new solo exhibition by Phil Irish, features the artist’s latest series of digital prints, shown alongside with his painterly collages. Set in dramatic arctic ecosystems, this exhibition is an evocative response to environmental flux and our global climate reality. These works involved collaging in remote landscapes, in response to the environment and affected by the elements. Referencing the “web of life”, the artworks visualize patterns of connection and dependence.
